the rightwing asses won't care, but *I* think it's cool Thomas J. had a Koran...I didn't know, but he was kind of interested in everything. He would have loved the internets.ETA: You know you're a Countdown fangirl when all the name Glenn Beck means is "Oh, he was Worst Person a quadrillion times," He was. And still not as much as Orally, uh, O'Reilly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm feeling all accomplished today as I mailed out books. Which means I'll post another list post haste.
WOOT. I guess I need to add "find new place to store books" to my list for tonight, huh.
(Hugs my universal health care.)
You GODLESS vodka swilling AMERICAN!

Shows what you know, you polar bear loving frozen tundra head! As a right thinking AMERICAN I don't swill vodka, I sip it, with some nice Rose's mix, like all civilised people.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I'm suddenly curious where raising the right hand, fingers straight and palm open, comes from in the annals of avowing/affirming/promising. Surely it predates the boy scout 3-finger version, and is related to the idea of an open hand hiding no weapon, but -- Wikipedia gives me no insights.
I've only ever had to affirms tuff with a notary public, never in court, and even so, I raised my right hand while repeating the wording of the statement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am bereft -- I ordered what should have been my dream shoes off Zappos, and they just don't fit right. It's not that they're too big or too small, they're just.... wrong. Wah! This is what I get for trying to put my naturally pointy feet into round-toed shoes. Also what I get for ordering shoes off the internets.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's a bastardization of the Vulcan salute.
What, you didn't know Vulcans built Stonehenge?

I bring my book and somebody says "Nuh uh...this has gone far enough...call it your bible all you want, I'm not recognizing A Year On The Killing Streets as holy text."

I think that the point could be made by the bigots that if you can't swear in on the Bible, you have no reason swearing in at all. Also because it's a heathen book that holds no magical power to bind you to the truth.
Too bad Haggard didn't think to swear off crystal meth use and hiring male escorts via one of the many magically binding Bibles available in his McChurch...
